We got some snow at the elevations last night so I headed up to Eaglecrest this morning to get on my downhill skis. The snow at the bottom of the mountain was very heavy, but at the top and down to mid-mountain the snow was powdery and I managed to find some sections that hadn’t […]

My Dad put me on skis almost as soon as I was able to walk and sometimes I think skiing feels more natural to me than walking. It makes more sense to me anyway because of the glide aspect that is involved. Dad, I thank you for laying the groundwork for me. I skied Eaglecrest […]

I headed up to Eaglecrest nordic trails again today and had a nice long skate ski in the warm sun. It was just like spring skiing with the snow starting to bog down where the sun is hitting it hard and really fast and icy on the snow in the shade. I think I am […]

Today I headed up to the lower nordic loop at Eaglecrest Ski Area. Even on the mountain the temperatures were in the 40’s but the good cover we got earlier in the season is holding up pretty well. Judging by the marks on the recently groomed trail, a few folks got out ahead of me, […]

The ski conditions have not changed in Juneau, nor has my resolve to make it out as many days as possible this season. Today I went around and around the Mendenhall Campground seven times which I think amounts to roughly 21km. My legs were starting to feel pretty wobbly toward the last couple of rounds […]

There is no new snow in Juneau, but there is still enough for skiing. It has gotten colder and the formerly wet snow has turned to icy sugar that does not want to set up very well when it is groomed. But hey, it works. I got a long skate ski in this morning […]

Juneau has had a week of melting combined with rain to wash away the awesome build-up of snow that we were experiencing. Despite the conditions that have conspired to wreck our skiing, there was enough cover to ski today with sunshine to boot. I made it out to the campground trail and hit it right […]

It’s just not happening in Juneau these days. 40 degrees Fahrenheit and rainy does not make for happy skier faces, so I thought I would live vicariously through my friend Clayton, who is enjoying snow in Colorado, and pass the stoke off to anybody who reads this. Are you feeling it? Clayton, I am […]

I headed up to the mountain today expecting it to be colder and drier than at sea level, but the snow up there is pretty saturated. It was deep and soft, but boggy and slow. I chose my long skis thinking that I would be able to cruise on corduroy, but even the groomers were […]

It has warmed up to the mid to high 30’s in Juneau with rain and I am having difficulty motivating myself to go for a ski. The Mendenhall Campground is probably still okay for a skate ski, but getting rained on while skiing is not very much fun. It is better than not skiing […]
